Answer:

y=x^2-2

Explanation:

Linear functions have a constant slope, so nonlinear functions have a slope that varies between points. Algebraically, linear functions are polynomials with highest exponent equal to 1 or of the form y = c where c is constant. Nonlinear functions are all other functions. An example of a nonlinear function is y = x^2
